DRIVE SAFELY THIS FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND
Independence Day is a cause for celebration across the United States; however, the NDSC reminds motorists to use extra caution on the roadway. The National Safety Council estimates 381 people will die in traffic crashes this weekend. Whether behind the wheel or in the passenger seat, seatbelts are the most effective protection against serious crash injuries. Studies show seat belts are 45 percent effective in preventing fatalities when worn correctly. This holiday weekend, NSC estimates seat belts will save 336 lives; an additional 80 lives could be saved if all passengers wore seat belts.
The NDSC offers these additional driving safety tips to keep you safe this weekend and throughout the summer:
- Don't kid yourself! If you plan to drink, designate a driver who won't drink. Alcohol is a factor in over 40 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes.
- Keep focused! Don't use cell phones or any other mobile electronic devices while operating a motor vehicle. This includes activities such as answering or making phone calls, engaging in phone conversation, reading or responding to emails and text messages, or adjusting your GPS units.
- Be alert! If you notice a car is straddling the center line, weaving, making wide turns, stopping abruptly or responding slowly to traffic signals, the driver may be impaired. Notify the police immediately, and you could save a life!
- Keep your children safe! Be sure to remind your young drivers to never drink and drive and to always wear their seatbelts! They are particularly vulnerable to motor vehicle crashes because of their inexperience, so remind them of the decisions they can make to keep themselves safe.

| NDSC employee receives '40 Under 40' award! |
Shilo Jasso receives "40 Under 40" Award
Even though one of Shilo Jasso's jobs is to blow stuff up, she says the biggest risk she's ever taken is becoming self-employed.
Age: 30
Position: Safety Consultant, North Dakota Safety Council
Family: Ramon Jasso (Husband), Saber Jasso (8 months)
Hobbies: Golf, Softball, Reading, Movies
Community Involvement: A member of the EGC (Energy Generation Conference) Committee. In the summer, I do grounds work for the golf course and softball fields. I began a networking group via e-mail to pass along safety information and presentations to other safety individuals across the nation.
Career Path: I started in the mining industry with BC Fry Companies, a drilling and blasting business. During the six years I worked there, I shot at all four coal mines in North Dakota and various mines in Wyoming and Montana. As the safety and human resources manager, it was my responsibility to conduct site inspections at the mines and quarries. I created safety plans, employee handbooks, task training manuals, and company policies. I also developed, and am still teaching, a three-day blasting course for new blasters so they can become certified blasters in the state of North Dakota. For two and a half years I was a self-employed training consultant, teaching MSHA (Mine Safety Health Administration) and blasting courses to miners and contractors. I have been a certified safety instructor in the safety and blasting industry for ten years and have earned certificates in OSHA training, MSHA training, first aid/CPR/AED training, forklift operator training and mine foreman certification. In my current role with the North Dakota Safety Council, I teach many safety courses that I have developed. I also help companies with safety questions, safety plans, internal audits, compliance issues, and I distribute safety information for them to use internally.
